    If you are a person who loses your belongings often, like keys, wallet, Apple gadgets, handbags, and more, you must have an AirTag with you. AirTag is a tracking device by Apple. It is a small gadget and works with Bluetooth, and it helps you locate things very easily. With the Find My app, you can control your AirTag. Further, it has a replaceable CR2032 battery. You can set up your AirTag with your Apple ID. If you are planning to give your AirTag to someone else, you should remove the Apple ID from the device. And in case the former user is in Bluetooth range, he/she will be able to track the AirTag. To avoid such issues, you have to reset the AirTag with your Apple ID. Check out this article to know the procedure to reset AirTag.
